Assuming that your Sun Server is running Solaris Hey Jerry: As a Sun Certified Instructor for everything up through performance tuning, I can tell you that their are enough differences that you should been to study up on Solaris right now. I think you will like the Solaris environment because most of the support for things like RAID, journaling filesystems, and configuring network interfaces is built in or bundled with the release.
I would suggest taking courses From a Certified Center. If this is an option for you I can tell you who the good providers and instructors are. All instructors and providers are not equal. If not the following are references that I have used in class. Solaris 8 System Admin Reference: By Sun Press Solaris Administrators Guide: By Sun Press Solaris Advanced System Administrators Guide: By Sun Press For topics like DNS and Sendmail configuration as well as DiskSuite and the Open Boot Prom the best source of information is Sun's web site for specific configuration info. You want to get a FREE registration into the SunSolve Database (follow the links) at http://www.sun.com General information about these topics and other are usually covered very well by the appropriate O'reilly Text.
